Madden NFL 12 Video - Eagles vs. Cowboys

[Spanky]

Anyone know what those small, round green stickers on the back of some Cowboys helmets are for?

I haven't seen anything that would have me cancel my pre-order at this point,so I take that as a good sign.

It feels so incomplete. I haven't heard one new line by Chris except the intro. If they recorded the end of games, we would probably hear more of the DPP lines. I just can't believe they would go to all the trouble to upgrade the presentation, then have the commentary sound as if they are both half asleep, saying one line every 30 seconds of play. They admitted in Gus' first year, they could only do main data like names and ball position. So you would think with the same effort this year, they could have created many more lines that what we are hearing. Not only that, but he didn't even say some of the names, like Ryan Mundy, just the #. Then like I said for Tony Romo's line, it wasn't even a complete sentence or even coherent.

means he has a mic to communicate with the sidelines. 1 player on O and D gets to have them.

Anybody a little piqued by Romo's cannon, rocket arm on that last pass? ... I mean .. .he throws the ball like 80 yards, haha.

If you watch the CBS broadcasts, they announce the QB first (like in Madden) while he's running towards to huddle, then the O line and rest of Offensive starters, without the QB. So in that case, it's much like a CBS broadcast, but they still should show the rest of the starters like in real life.

It seems as though they implement great ideas into these Madden games, but they are so incomplete. smh

Like I've already mentioned, the #'s thing was the same as last year,so I don't know why it surprises you so much...even before Gus when Tom Hammond did the announcing...it was "he hands off","he made the catch" or "the tackle was made by #43".

Me too. I like the banter during the coin toss.

I think I'll play Madden again to make sure, but I am almost positive he said Troy Polamalu. He even said something like "The Tazmanian Devil Troy Polamalu." I don't think he ever used a #, or at least a # and not say there name. He might have said #7 Ben Roethlisberger, but never #7 throws a pass. So, again, not sure why Gus would regress. I know for Mundy in this years game he said #29, so I think I will go back to Madden 11 and see if he says his name.
